Tories with a thumb on the scales

[SydneyRover]

''The Government this week sneaked out an announcement increasing the amount that political parties can spend on general elections by around 80%. This major change in election rules cannot be challenged by opposition parties. It is the governing party setting the rules to benefit themselves.

In the six general elections since spending limits were introduced for national parties in 2000, a limit of approximately £20 million in the year before a general election has proved adequate. Only the Conservative Party has consistently come close to spending up to this limit''
